On most furnaces the blower continues to run as long as there is heat stored
in the heat exchanger. In milder weather the burner comes on before the
blower does and the blower stays on after the burner has turned off. In
your case the burner may be cycling off and on but the cycles are so shor
Hi,
It's bitterly cold here today; probably didn't get past 15 degrees.
When we leave, we turn our talking thermostat down to 68, but since we got
home, we turned it up to 70; that was at about 4 PM this afternoon.
Could the timer have gone out or something? The furnace hasn't turned off
once!
Quite a few years ago I had an older blind ham friend that lived in a
retirement home. He was not allowed to put out any antennas and he came up
with this idea. Right outside his window was the down spout for the rain
gutters. He found where it went to the ground and then had another ham

You don't ground the antenna. You ground the ground terminal of the
receiver, if it has one. That gives the antenna something to work against.
Having an antenna without a ground is like trying to operate a light bulb
from one wire. You always need two wires to make a complete circuit. Some
Thanks Clifford, it's nice to know grounding isn't set in stone so to speak.

Dear William:
The loop antennas I described are not grounded, although I do have a ground
wire that connects to my amateur rig. Some antennas are grounded at a point,
either at the receiver end or some are grounded through a resister at the
opposite end of the antenna.
I had a ham frie
Thanks to all who have answered this one for me. Can somebody explain how
to and why we should ground antennas? If memory serves, when I have touched
an antenna wire to a ground, like plumming say, the signal went away
entirely. So, what am I missing?
Thanks again.

Dear Max and list members:
The best ham antennas I have ever had were full-wave loop antennas. On 75
meters, the square was roughly sixty feet per side, with four sides. I
constructed the loop with number 14 copper-clad steel wire, with a matching one

After all of the discussions about palm nailers I thought it might be

Sears store no longer carries them that they are available by catalog only.
Home Depot has a Rigid for $80, Lowes has a Bostige, I think that is how i
If the glaze is a two-part mix like epoxy, try putting heat on the surface with
lamps. The heat may have to remain for some hours or even a day to get the
glaze to continue Hardening and end up non-sticky.

Try warming it up a little though, that might be enough. Not too hot, maybe a
